Design services

Transform yourbackyard.

We survey the property, map it, and hand you a buildable set of plans and 3D renderings — so you can see the pool, the pool house, and the whole outdoor room before anyone breaks ground.

What we design

Not just the hole in the ground.

Most people come to us for a pool and leave with a plan for the whole yard, because the grade, the shade, and the seating all decide how the pool actually gets used.

01

Custom pools

Shape, depth, sun shelf, water features, and equipment placement — drawn to fit the yard you have, not a catalog template.

02

Pool houses & cabanas

Changing rooms, storage, covered seating, and the utility runs that make them work.

03

Landscape & elevation changes

Retaining walls, grading, drainage, and steps — the expensive surprises, sorted out on paper first.

04

Outdoor living spaces

Kitchens, fire features, decking, and lighting laid out as one room instead of four separate projects.

How it works

You see it before you buy it.

Four steps from first visit to a plan you own outright.

Property survey

We walk the yard and take real measurements — setbacks, slope, tree canopy, power lines, existing utilities. The constraints get recorded before anything gets drawn.

Mapping

Current GIS mapping software turns the survey into an accurate site model, so the design is drawn against the actual lot rather than a rough sketch.

3D renderings

You get the design as 3D imagery, not a floor plan you have to interpret. Shade, sight lines, and how the space feels from the back door all become obvious.

Screen-share walkthrough

We go through the design together on a call, change what needs changing, and finish with plans you can hand to a builder — ours or anyone else's.

What you get

Deliverables, not sketches.

GIS site mapping

An accurate model of your lot, with the real dimensions and elevations built in.

3D renderings

Images of the finished space from the angles you'll actually stand in.

Design plans

Documented plans a contractor can price and build from.

A rough idea of the space and what you want out of it is enough to start. We'll come look at it before quoting anything.
